  • Serious stuff!

    Alot of people need to realise, the introduction of the physics processing unit (PPU) is the biggest advancement in games since the introduction of the dedicated graphics processur (GPU).
    We all remember the days were all graphics were processed by the CPU and the CPU alone. Look how far graphics card have taken us...
    now imagine how far PPU will take us.
    If you're a technology wiz like me, you should be excited :)

  • Physics

    are a great advance not only for games, but for any purpose you can give to computer animation (games, movies, simulations, recreations, etc...)

    Leaving graphics appart, personally, I think a game looks and feels more realistic when things in the environment react the way you espect them to do in real life. Sure they can look pretty with high quality texture samples, antialiasing, bumpmaps and lightmaps, but if you see a very neat and photo realistic object move as if it was floating around, or bouncing like it is made up of rubber, it will loose the realistic feel.

    This video was not intended to show high quality graphics, the ones that are made for this purposes are the PS3 videos there are around. This ones shows physics. All of the movements of this objects were calculated by the computer in real time (wheter or not the video was in real-time or a pre rendered scene) and the authors had not to worry about moving this or that to the places they should.

    I found it quite nice the way the crane reacts to the bump of the big steel ball. If it had just fell without any reaction, it would had the feel of a plastic model, but this recreates the way a real giant crane would look

  • The Big Ball

    I don,t know what that ball was made out of, but I want a car made from the same material.

    • Do you mean that it seems indestructible...

      If that's what you mean, then you are definitely wrong. You WANT your car to crumple when you hit something in order to increase the length of the impulse, thereby decreasing the average amount of force.

      The "indestructible" idea was used in the early days of automobile racing, and with disastrous results. People thought that if they made the cars indestructible, then the driver would not be hurt in a crash. What actually happened is that all of the force involved in stopping was exerted in a fraction of a second, putting tremendous forces on the driver. The car would still be intact, but the driver would be killed.

    • what I was saying

      I guess sometimes you have to clairify, what was in my mind was the fact that there is a lot of drivers out there (if you,ve ever parked in a parking lot anywhere, you know what I mean), that will key your car, or ding it with a cart, or even back into it and then leave. I have had so many mysterious dents and scapes in the past, that I have given up trying to keep a vehicle looking nice. And yes, I am fully aware that an object in motion tends to stay in motion. I am not in the habit of continually crashing my car. thanks for the intelligent reply.

  • ageia

    Assuming this is from the Ageia physics engine...it's an add-on graphics hardware rendering card to go along with you nvidia cards.

  • pretty good

    but the plane crashing into the sphere should of xploded alot more

    those grafix would be sweet in a game tho
